Many of you are familiar with my constant praises of Ninja brand products such as the original Ninja Crispi, Ninja Thirsti, Ninja Creami, and especially the Ninja Express Chop. My love for Ninja isn’t absolute, however, as I have raked at least one of their products over the coals. So today I take an excited yet skeptical look at their newest offering, which has a long list of pros and cons. I also have a new F2 food vlog and fresh Amazon deals for you, so let’s dive in!
NEW VIDEO ALERT 📽️
Ninja Crispi DualZone
It was only a little over a week ago that I received a text from Ninja that their newest version of the Ninja Crispi was just released, so I knew I had to jump on it ASAP! And now today I offer my review of this interesting new offering by Ninja. It features what is essentially a pair of connected Ninja Crispis that can be programmed together or separately. I put it through several rounds of tests and found some interesting features, along with a few confusing elements in the instructions. Before you plunk down $350 for this behemoth, give my review a spin!

DEALS 🏷️
Hexclad Pan: 23% Off

I’ve been using Hexclad since 2019, and even did a 6 year update last year. When I see this brand marked down, I take note. This 8-inch pan usually sells for about $110-$130 but it’s currently marked down to $99.
Magsafe Charger: 39% Off
One issue with carrying around a portable charger is the fact that you have to carry it around. This Magsafe portable charger stays attached to the back of your iPhone (or Magsafe case) so you have an extra 10,000 mAh of power right there on your phone. It’s currently only $20, marked down from its usual price of $32-$38.
Shark Hair Dryer: 40% Off
Admittedly, this isn’t a product I can use, but a Shark product marked down 40% is worth mentioning. The typical price range of this hair dryer is as high as $250, so the current deal is sizeable, slashing $100 off its usual cost.
Household Tip: Give Your Air Fryer Some Breathing Room
Air fryers need space around them, especially behind the unit where hot air often vents. Before using one, pull it several inches away from the wall, backsplash, cabinets, and anything heat-sensitive. It helps prevent heat buildup, protects nearby surfaces, and keeps grease from slowly coating the wall behind it.
For large countertop models, it can help to keep them on a heat-resistant mat or a movable appliance tray. That makes it easier to pull the air fryer forward for use, then slide it back when you need your counter space again.
FREAKIN’ 2
Rogue Snacks and “Cupffee”?
Over on F2, I posted my latest vlog in which I tried out two food items I’ve been seeing relentlessly advertising recently: Rogue Snacks and edible coffee cups called “Cupffee.” It was an interesting batch of taste tests, to say the least. Along the way, I also discuss AI on YouTube, and a potential upcoming trip out of town.
ON THIS DATE 🗓️
Granitestone Pro (2020)
Exactly six years ago today I posted my review of the Granitestone Pro pan, which I quite liked. It was an updated, and perhaps more “legit” version of their earlier Granite Rock Pan. I found it to be a viable pan and I still occasionally use it all these years later.
That’s about it for this week, although I have a lot coming up on the horizon. I just received a very interesting fan that was on Shark Tank, and I’m also preparing a special Fourth of July taste test over on F2. All of that is ahead of a trip out of town in July, whether I’m ready or not!
Until next time,
James
